and Superintendent of the Rio Grande
Irrigation and Colonization Company,
states that the company have completed
arrangements and will commence at
once to build large irrigation ditch on
the west side of the Rio Grande. The
ditch will be taken from the river at or
near the Santa Felipe Indian village,
thirty miles above here, and will run
down the valley and along the foothills
to point near San Antonio, about
eighty miles below this city, where the
water will again be turned into the Rio
Grande. The survey shows that this
ditch, when completed, will irrigate
l,OOO,OO0 acres of rich valley land, all
OF which can be placed under high

obtained. The company has secured
large concessions of lands along the line.
The estimated cost OF the work, includ-
ing number of reservoirs along the
line, will be about 81 900 900. When
built 1t will be the means of adding 20
